Good point, Laurent. But at which stage does the AppleTalk become IPX or
whatever the obviously non-compatible protocol is called. I have TCP/IP
enabled at home in all macs in the Network and basically the same
configuration as Bob R. Kenyon has.

And it does normally (unless something is broken as is in my recent MP2k1).
MP120's and MP130's see everything in the net but not the internet because
they lack NIE2 and NIE1.1.1 doesn't support TCP/IP over AT.

Bob, you must check your Prefs and set them to AppleTalk->LocalTalk. And be
shure that you use the right cable. The best is of course to use the
original Mini8 cable. With a DB9 cable you have a fair chance to create a
crossed connection when you needed a straight one.

And be shure to terminate the last PhoneNet boxes at the ends of the chain
with that small termination resistor, crimped into a RJ12 connector.

I tried this with a direct connection from Newton to an elder iPrint adapter
and it did not work at all. I had to use two AT adapter boxes and one AT
cable. More recent iPrint adapters have RJ12 (PhoneNet) connectors only and
the AT box built-in.
